Just got word from the show floor that our booth exists. Woohoo! We're looking forward to getting set up and ready for everyone.
Show opens 9a Vegas time today. Who's attending?

Who's attending?
1. My bro who works for a big name gear company. They have a booth.
2. Coworker who has a diesel engine company buddy who's going to party and see some of the show.
3. Midwest customer who is going to Vegas for the weekend bachelor party starting tomorrow (Have you heard of SEMA, I asked?)
4. Not I, said I.
Fingers crossed Simpson shows a "sport" version of the Hybrid S! I'd like to keep my head connected to my spine but $1800 CAD ($1200 USD) is a lot to spend these days (I mean, not if you ever need it).
If you're in their booth please push them to make this, there are a lot of HPDE/TT/Instructors that could really use it but are priced out for the current full blown carbon version. I've got a HANS for my car with harnesses but I know the Hybrid provides a bit more support in certain situations as well as the ability to use it in any of my students cars.

Seen some videos of the Toyota AWD GR 86 turbo that's apparently there. Cool concept.

9.7 miles of walking so far and i still haven't come across your booth
I'm not there; instead I'm keeping things running at work while co-workers are there. They did send me photos of the Toyota AWD turbo 3-cylinder GR86, which looks really awesome!
I hope it is a good show for all who are attending. 😁
Not going this year. It's tough to make a business case for it unless we're searching for specific suppliers. Otherwise it's just crowds and face to face meetings that could have been an email. We have the emissions thing pretty well in hand with a car in the test cell right now, so no need to attend those meetings.
I actually just got home after towing an ex-SEMA show car from CA to CO. We thought about swinging by.

We're in Central Hall. Look for the blue and white Supertech sign hanging from the ceiling - our booth is across from theirs.
Ferrari engine = good
R888R tires = not so much

Sweet!
That should get you to 88 mph a little quicker.

I'm not sure the tires matter all that much with no wiring or plumbing on the engine.
